Marion Police Department’s Raid on Local Newspaper Sparks National Outcry Over Press Freedom Violations

The Marion Police Department has come under fire for raiding the offices of the Marion County Record and the home of its publisher and owner, Eric Meyer. Meyer has accused the police of causing enough stress to his 98-year-old mother, Joan, to cause her death. Press freedom watchdogs and civil rights organizations have called for an investigation into the raid, which they deem a violation of the First Amendment. The outcome of the investigation is yet to be seen.
